  • The Out-of-the-Box Child: A Conversation With Nathan Clarkson
    Jan 30 2025

    Do you have an out-of-the-box child? Are you in need of help and hope in your own journey with an outside-the-box child? God has created each of us as unique individuals. Our kids are beautifully different. How do you faithfully parent and educate a child who is His unique creation? In this week's episode, Carrie has a heart-warming conversation with Nathan Clarkson, co-author of the new book, Uniquely You: Exploring Your Child's Extraordinarily Distinctive Design, and one of Carrie's favorite books, Different, The Story of an Outside-the-Box Kid and the Mom Who Loved Him. Nathan discusses his new book and shares what it was like growing up as an out-of-the-box kid and how to love and nurture the "different" ones in your life. Pour yourself a cup of cup, put your feet up, and join Nathan and Carrie for an out-of-the-box conversation about being uniquely created.

  • Homeschool Athletes: Playing the NCAA Game (Updated)
    Jan 23 2025

    If you homeschool and you have a serious and competitive athlete, then you don't want to miss this week's Coffee With Carrie Podcast. Sadly, many talented homeschool athletes give up homeschooling during the high school years thinking public or private school is the only door to collegiate sports and scholarships. This simply isn't true! Homeschool athletes are scouted and recruited at the college level every year. So if you have a child or a teen who excels in a particular sport and you think he or she may want to pursue this in high school, in college, and maybe even as a future career, get your pen and paper ready, pour yourself a cup of coffee and hang out with Carrie for this sports-related coffee break!

    Click here to register your athlete at the NCAA Eligibility Center.
